Attraction Part Two

At least 10 people have come up to me in the last week and asked me if I ever heard of "The Secret". Man, Oprah has some clout--they all seem really surprised when I tell them it's been out for at least a year. Imagine the people who did that film. They were all just people like you and me and they learned this "secret" and now they are all rich, famous and sought after. Makes you think huh?

I always wonder if there's a stopping point to things like that. Like, how many millionaires can there be really? And if everyone's a millionaire, will that be the new poverty level? And then I think that I must be crazy to believe that there are limits to the Universe's abundance.

Last nights couples yoga was sooo fun. I will tell you a "secret". I was pretty worried and nervous about it. I hadn't taught a class like that before and I was worried that if it wasn't all couples that the singles would feel weird. It was almost like teaching 2 classes at the same time. B kept reminding me that I had publicized the heck out of it so they knew coming in what the main focus would be but I can't bear the thought of anyone being unhappy in yoga so I was a bit stressed about it. Turned out I did have 4 who were not coupled--2 decided to pair up and 2 decided to just do it by themselves. It worked out okay. I think the next time I will have it be just a special couples only--just because there was quite a bit I had to leave out but all in all it went quite well. Everyone seemed to have a great time--it was great seeing so many people sharing such love and laughter. Quite inspiring...and uplifting too!

I highly recommend it! Oh, and by the way....another "secret".....the last picture is the only pose they really did. Do you really think I would make them do the first 2? Pishawh!!!! We'll work up to it LOL!

Ahhh Yoga.....Good

My class this morning was heavenly. While my students were in relaxation and I was sending them positive energy, I had a thought. It was that I am just never, ever more happy and fulfilled than when I am teaching. Do you ever just have those moments where you are just completely 'in the moment' and then you realize how great that moment really is? I have them all the time. It's a wonderful feeling--I call it joy.

Found a fun site this morning--was up late last night with my solar area hurting (no doubt all that nasty food I had been eating during the power outage) Sent some Reiki to it and fell asleep. Got up this morning and it was gone but I just had this nagging feeling it was trying to tell me something. When I did my morning meditation, I lit the solar chakra candle and concentrated energy there. Got curious about chakra sayings and went and googled it and found this site that gives you a test to see which chakra needs refining.

Go here http://www.cobolt.com.au/index.asp?pg=findchakra&sStatus=reset for the link to take it yourself.

Oh....and the one that I needed to refine?

Surely you don't need to ask. LOL! My results:

Well Done! The Chakra that you most need to refine is your Solar Plexus Chakra!...


Yellow: Self Esteem, Confidence, Power.The solar plexus is your inner sun (light), and it is about your relationship to yourself - how you feel about yourself - so from here comes self esteem, self confidence, self worth, or self doubt. This is also the seat of your power. The more genuine self worth you feel the more empowered you are, the more self doubt you have the less empowered you feel.

Big surprise right?

Gone with the wind part two

Jeez, lost a whole week.

The good: got to spend a lot of time at home with family

The bad: it was 39 degrees in my home

The ugly: Me with 3 hats, 6 shirts, 2 coats, 2 pants and 3 pairs of socks.

---------------------------------

Fun: curling up in the sun with Rhia watching the tree cutters cut the branch off my wires and knowing electricity would be restore eventually..

Not Fun: missing all my yoga classes for 3 days

Sucked: Bathroom. 39 degrees. Middle of night. Ugh.

-----------------------------------

Heartwarming: Adjibade calling and offering us Hudson House.

Heartfilling: Seeing the older couple across the street get to stay there instead.

Heartburning: Egg McMuffins and 7/11 coffee.

-------------------------------------

How did you weather the storm????

Interesting

I learned a big lesson today. I was feeling a whole lot of pressure to beat a time line. I was up half the night trying to figure out how I could break it to everyone I believed I would let down if I couldn't meet this percieved time line that there was no way I could meet this time line.

This morning I picked a Reiki card and it was the throat chakra card. All about communicating. Hmmm, I said to myself, that's odd. I feel as if I have been communicating quite well recently....the card said I needed to state my truth and listen for the answer. Aha! The thought occured to me that I wasn't really stating my truth about this issue because I really didn't see how I was going to meet the percieved deadline but I was going ahead with the project anyway.

So I sent an email to all asking for help and giving options.

The main person I felt was giving me a deadline wrote an email saying there was no way I could meet his deadline!!!

So strange. So after much conversation (and much appreciated feedback from all) we had a wonderful conclusion to the day. I'm getting to do what I feel is right, WHEN I feel it is right....

Do you think the cards know more than me?

Shudder the thought.

ahhhh, the universe provides again....if you only listen....and speak your truth!

Sorry to be so cryptic here but stay tuned. Big News coming!!!! Just waiting for one more response....

The Secret

So, the people who brought you "The Secret" were on Oprah yesterday. Usually Oprah kinda gets on my nerves but she had put down her scepter for the day and the show was really good. I even took some notes which is amazing cause I've never done that before....Course I'm usually crying my eyes out over the poor children in Africa. Kinda hard to write when you can't see. But I digress....

The Secret is all about the Law of Attraction. We attract to ourselves whatever we put the most energy towards. So if we keep thinking that we just won't have something, the Universe will provide and make sure we don't have it. So if we say, "I will just never get over my childhood" the Universe reads it as "never get over your childhood" and will provide. Or if you think "I want a million dollars" the Universe will continue to provide you with the thrill of wanting that million dollars.....As my family used to say, "how's it feel to want?"

The theory is, if you see yourself with what you desire, you will attract it to you. So, simplistically, if you see yourself happy, you will be happy. If you see yourself as a victim, the Universe will keep giving you opportunities to be victimized. It only wants to give us what we really want. So the solution is to make sure you are asking for what you really want. Sounds easy, huh?

Now take a minute and listen to what you really want.....and then listen to what the inner voice says....no, really listen! Takes real time to do it.....

Some notes I made yesterday: (sorry, this is sort of for me to look at everyday but maybe it will touch a chord in you too)

Attracting: Never making any real money
Change to: Gratitude for what I am receiving

Attracting: Needing a space of my own for yoga
Change to: Creating space for spirit

Attracting: "I've done everything I can"
Change to: What other great ideas do I have?

ERGH!!! Everyday Remember Gratitude & Heart!!©

True Forgiveness: Thank you for giving me that experience.
Crisis: What are you here to teach me?

I AM THE FIRST EXAMPLE OF HOW THE WORLD IS SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME!!!

Treating myself like I'm nonexistent and a victim creates same. Lesson *I am creating experiences of being let down by not holding others accountable. Quietly *what are you able to do? Here's what I can do.*

Question: What am I grateful for in this person? Focus on what is there instead of what isn't.

If your hands are filled with the past--how can you put the present in them?

ASK--BELIEVE--PERCIEVE

Did you get all that?
Love to all.
